design my garden!...
It's only a baby, just a foot tall. But I will enjoy watching it grow.

Hi folks, I have a 'bare' patch at the bottom of my front lawn and am looking for some advice/inspiration on what to plant in it. any ideas? what would look best? would like to stay with the same theme as up the back. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ Filename: patch.JPG | Download: http://www.gardenbanter.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=2890| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ Do you know the names of the plants in the back bed? I can't quite make out what they are from the pic; but you could make a start by getting more of the same, and putting them round the edge, with taller stuff in the middle. At the edge I'd want to grow some things which flopped over the stones in a natural way. Some of the stuff in the back bed could probably be split: you divide the plant, making sure to get a bit of root on the cut-off part, and plant in the new position. Get back to us if you can find out the names or get some close-up photos. It looks as though a small tree would be good for the very middle -- something which flowers is always effective, so a flowering crab-apple such as Malus floribunda or a flowering cherry might do the trick. Have a look at your neighbours' gardens, and don't be afraid to ask them the name of anything you like the look of. Later in the year you can put some bulbs in for a show next spring or summer. -- Mike. |
